flying with stove

[carback]

Here's a question for you:

I'm planning on a several-months-long cycle trip (fully-loaded / camping) overseas.

How do you get around the 'flying with a camp stove' issue? If the stove has never been used before, then I see that as not a big deal (but the airlines might think differently). But what do you do if you've used the stove before?

Is draining the lines / ensuring the stove is empty of gas enough for airlines? I somehow doubt it.

Any insight?

Thanks!
